The Sensations Technology
The technology enables users to physically feel accurate haptic feedback for audio. It works by allowing the users to create and use custom haptic data. This approach delivers accurate results, as opposed to using the currently available audio processing algorithms.
The VibePlayer App
The player takes advantage of the Sensations technology to play an audio signal, while vibrating the device, using custom haptic data created for that audio signal. A user can watch a video while feeling vibrations for the sound effects within that video, for example.
The VibeMaker Kit
Using the technology, the VibeMaker kit, which is part of the player app, allows users to easily create haptic data, to be used by the player. The kit has a simple design and supports audio files, videos, and images. The haptic data is portable and can be used in the same manner as subtitles files.
